Hi,
I must apologise for list members receiving an email about the football
scores - something went wrong with my email client and it sent out text
from one email response to the 'reply to all' addresses of the preceding
one. Scary.
What I meant to say to Fiona was that you can zoom in using Audacity to
view the waveform in much more detail which will allow more accurate
measurement. The status bar at the bottom shows the time position of the
cursor, and if you click and drag to select the area of silence you want
to measure, it shows the start and end timepoints, with the intervening
time period in brackets (which is the figure you need). I don't know of a
way to extract this info manually though, so you'd still have to measure
each one separately.
Hope that helps,
